We are pleased to share that UTC’s Interim Ombuds office will present a free zoom seminar next week, on Wednesday, October 18, from 11:30am to 12:15pm.

 

Getting Unstuck: Intro to Ombuds' Services

What IS an ombuds and how can they help me "get unstuck" with challenges and conflicts I face?

The Office of Ombuds Services helps to empower faculty and staff to constructively navigate challenges related to their experiences at UTC. In this interactive session, participants will be introduced to a range of free services from the Office of Ombuds Services, our perspectives on conflict as a tool for innovation, and our key approaches to navigating challenging situations.

No problem is too small or too big - we are here to help! 

This online interactive presentation will also include scenarios of typical challenges brought to the Ombuds, the standards & ethics we follow, and how to access our consultation, mediation, and educational services. 15 minutes will be reserved for Q&A in this session.

The seminar will be available at this link:

We will provide the same seminar again at least two more times in the coming weeks.
